Ransomware is a type of malicious software, or malware, that encrypts data on a computer making it unusable. A malicious cyber criminal holds the data hostage until the ransom is paid. If the ransom is not paid, the victim's data remains unavailable.

Without cyber-security, companies cannot defend themselves at the time of the breach. It is impossible to stop cyber-attacks from occurring by relying on antiviruses.
